The Spanish having plundered South America, English pirates attacked and robbed the Spanish galleons transporting the plundered gold, etc. back to Spain. This, along with Catholic-Protestant animosity between the two nations, exacerbated by the execution by the English of (Catholic) Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland and the provocative 'singeing of the King of Spain's beard' (i.e. an English attack on the Spanish fleet at harbour in Cadiz), eventually led to the attempted, but unsuccessful, invasion of England by the Spanish Armada.
Other possible sources of provocation were (i) the unilateral divorce (against the wishes of the Pope) by Henry VIII of his Spanish wife, Catherine of Aragon, his marriage to Anne Boleyn, and his establishment of the Church of England, with himself as its Head; and (ii) the rejection, by Elizabeth I, Henry's daughter by Anne Boleyn, of offers of marriage from Spanish King Felipe II.
